Division Champs!

So, I'm not keeping up with this blog thing very well, am I?? :) Life gets in the way, but I want to get back on track... not a lot has been happening, but a couple great things happened, so I'll get you updated on those--and then perhaps a post about some fun things coming up for the rest of the summer!


First of all, Corey's team managed to obtain the title of Division Champs for the second year running! Go, Corey! (well, er...and team!) ;) The teams *are* different every year, but he had the same coaches this year (my good friend Gayla and my other friend Carrie's husband, Roger) and a great many of the same kids. Last year they won it "all," so let's keep our fingers crossed for playoffs on July 12 & 13th! I didn't know the dates for playoffs until just a couple of days ago, and we have to ask for days off (at Walmart) about a month ahead of time, so the assistant manager in charge of my schedule was really great about making sure I got those two days for my days off that week. Thanks, Carol! (Carol is the temporary front-end manager--my manager Marcy is out for 3 months having an ankle replacement...she's about my age but was in an accident several months ago and ruined her ankle. But, as usual, I digress!) Here is a picture of Corey in his full soccer regalia:



and one of the team at the end of the game:

and a couple of his wonderful Grandma and Grandpa who show up at each game, without fail, pending any major crisis....how awesome to have such supportive grandparents, right?? :) In fact, Grandpa is bummed because he has always liked to go to an event here in Florence called "Hooked on Fishing" (not on drugs) since they've started it up the last several years. He usually takes his boat and Corey and several other kids. They go all day, have lunch and fishing experts (famous in their way) even come to our lil' ol' town! Well, this year playoffs and Hooked on Fishing are the same day--and Grandpa *really* gets into both of them! So...I guess he'll have to choose! Cute pictures of them though, right? :)


Congratulations! to Corey and the rest of the team for earning the Division Champs title--and good luck in playoffs--we'll be there cheering you on!!! :)

Wow, that's great Corey! (and team!) It's always more fun when you win right? Cute pictures of G & G too. I love that G & G come to the games & watch. Very nice they can do that. Too bad Grpa has to choose between soccer & the fishing event. Good luck in the play offs Corey!
